Episode Synopsis

Sex trafficking is when victims are manipulated or forced to engage in various forms of sexual activity for someone else’s financial gain. Sex trafficking does not necessarily involve movement or transportation, a person can be trafficked and go home and sleep in their own bed at night (Polaris Project, 2021). 
Our guest, Sean Wheeler lives and works in Colorado. He was sex trafficked from around age 5 until age 9 and he experienced other forms of abuse for some 15 years, including having been used in child pornography. In this episode he shares how it all began, the grooming methods that were used, how he lost his voice and the emotional scars that he has been working through. Today, Sean speaks out on the issue of child trafficking and is in the process of setting up a safety house for male victims.
